Frans,
Please read this post [1] about Virtuoso (software) that allows you deal
with Linked Data Deployment via the following steps:
1. Download, install, and start Virtuoso (include the faceted browser
VAD package)
2. Load RDF data into Virtuoso DBMS via variety of mechanisms (from
dropping RDF file to a WebDAV mounted folder to SPARQL) -- no different
from what you would do if you were loading relational data from a dump
(RDBMS specific or CSV) file
3. Enter this pattern into your Browser or use with CURL:
ttp://<cname>[:<port>]/describe/?uri=<entity-uri>
4. Enjoy Linked Data via Entity Name References that resolve to a
variety of Representation formats (including HTML+RDF) via respective URLs.
Note:
Once you're at this stage there are other options for making your
preferred Entity Name Refs and Representation URLs via URL-Rewrite
rules, if need be re., aesthetic requirements.
In your particular case I sense the steps would be:
1. Install Virtuoso and Faceted Browser VAD package - encourage you to
install the 15 day free evaluation commercial edition so that you have a
proper installer that gets you going in less than 5 minutes (if you want
build the open source edition, do that after you've had the simple
experience I've outlined).
2. Use Conductor to import your RDF from a local file or a URL
3. Enjoy Linked Data power.
